6.1.1 Force IBMC Update (J1B5)
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the
unlikely event the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper
update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J1B5) which will force the
BMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be followed in the event the
standard BMC firmware update process fails.

1. Power down and remove the AC power cord.
2. Open the server chassis. See your server chassis documentation for instructions.
3. Move jumper from the default operating position, covering pins1 and 2, to the enabled
position, covering pins 2 and 3.
